Winter Paddling & Cash
The Reno-Tahoe Blog will occasionally feature entries from athletes sponsored by Reno-Tahoe, America's Adventure Place. Jay Kincaid, professional kayaker, has been paddling over half of his lifetime, and is back to blog about his life as a professional kayaker living in Reno, NV. As 2003 Freestyle Kayaking World Champion, 2001 U.S. National Champion and three-time U.S. Point Series Champion, Jay is the most proud of the many first descents he's done on rivers and waterfalls in his native Oregon and in California.
I am a Daddy, again! Lisa and I got a new puppy just in time for her to leave for Hawaii, and for me to have to deal with a little monster. He is a German Shorthair Pointer, just like our other dog. A hunting dog, of course.
His name is Cash and he has been a ton of fun and work.
I am back on the river and my neck is feeling not too bad. It does hurt, but it is just irritating, not bad enough to bring me down. The Truckee river is up, the weather is warm (well, it is sunny at least), and we have some new play holes at the white water park that are a ton of fun. Thanks to Snap Dragon and Kokotat, I have some brand new, super dry, dry decks, and all of the cold weather gear to keep me happy and warm on the river. That combined with a truly dry boat is the perfect combination for winter paddling.
